I recall the day that we first met
And I promised things that I'd come to regret
Sometimes it's too hard to see things through
So I'm taking back the promises that I made to you
Well the words you spoke never meant much anyway
For every truth you told to me, a lie wasn't far away
If you can't keep your word or tell the truth
Goodbye for now, goodbye my dear, I'm walking out on you
A hundred thousand words have passed between
A hundred thousand people just like you and me
Where every day they disappear and then
They soldier on, they carry on, while the light fades within
But you won't know
Which way to go
Which way is fine
Come back you are mine
If we could only spend more time apart
I'm sure that we could find what we had at the start
If absence makes the heart grow fonder still
I won't come back at all
I'll just stay away, and you can do what you will
A hundred thousand words have passed between
A hundred thousand people just like you and me
Where every day they disappear and then
They soldier on, they carry on, while the light fades within
